Bob, That is great that you flew it, must have felt pretty good. Like you, I like them flying scale, I am using a G-38 for several reasons, I like gas more than glow, this engine seems to be about the right weight and It is an engine I can use for other projects. It doesnt hurt that I have extra power just in case. I will have to pay careful attention to the C/G, let us know where you end up having the CG at.
I am still assembling mine, have the wings, tailfeathers, landing gear and the plastic fairings on. I have made an aluminum mounting plate and extensions made to mount the G-38. I will use a spring starter and a flat plate mount instead of the cup mount. I will post pictures when I have the engine ready to install. It really looks great, a very cool plane.
